About Castle View Indian Cuisine
Overlooking Lincoln Castle from its spot on Union Road, Castle View Indian Cuisine is an Indian restaurant that takes reservations. The menu centres on curries, with chicken tikka jalfrezi among the named dishes. Tables by the window frame the view of the castle, drawing both first-time visitors and a base of long-standing regulars. The restaurant runs on a reservation-only basis, with walk-in seating limited at busy times. The room sits a short walk from the centre of Lincoln, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the uphill area around the castle.

Customer Review Summary
The most frequently praised draw across reviews is the food itself, with the chicken tikka jalfrezi singled out by a long-time customer as a favourite. Close behind, reviewers consistently describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, with service called prompt and effective from start to finish. Several mention the generous portions and fair prices, and one group of six reports the food was brilliant across the table. A few note the castle view from the table and the warm, comfortable feel of the room. Two reviewers suggest booking ahead, which is reflected in the general advice to reserve. The only slight friction appears in a 4-star visit where nothing was faulted beyond the lack of a booking, easily solved by the team finding a table anyway. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with no recurring complaints across the ten submitted accounts.

“First time visit and the food was amazing, one of the best curries ive had. Staff were so friendly and service was prompt and effective. Even got a free shot (think it was because it was an aniversary 😊). Well worth the trip.”
